A  Note  on  the  Filming  of  the  Oversize  Scrapbooks 

The  contents  of  the  oversize  scrapbooks  have  not  been  reproduced 
in  their  entirety.  There  are  numerous  scrapbook  pages  with  folded 
clippings  that  cannot  be  completely  unfolded  without  obscuring  other 
clippings.  Each  such  page  has  been  reproduced  at  least  once,  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  convey  the  greatest  amount  of  bibliographic  and 
substantive  information  about  the  clippings  on  that  page.  Folded 
clippings  with  articles  directly  relating  to  Edison  were  unfolded  and 
filmed  in  their  entirety  except  in  cases  where  the  article  was  a 
duplicate  of  one  previously  filmed.  The  scrapbook  page  was  then 
filmed  a  second  time  in  order  to  capture  the  clippings  obscured  by  the 
first  shot.  Oversize  clippings  with  articles  unrelated  to  Edison  were 
not  unfolded  in  cases  where  unfolding  would  obscure  other  articles 
on  the  page.

Scientific  American  (1911-1912) 

This  scrapbook  contains  articles  published  in  Scientific  American  during 
the  period  January  1911-February  1912.  Included  are  clippings  regarding 
Edison's  new  storage  battery  and  reminiscences  about  Edison  and  Menlo 
Park  by  Edward  G.  Acheson  and  T.  Commerford  Martin.  Also  included  is  an 
interview,  published  one  month  after  Edison's  return  from  Europe,  in  which  the 
inventor  predicted  that  the  commercial  rivalry  between  Germany  and  Great 
Britain  would  not  result  in  war.  The  book  contains  200  numbered  pages;  only 
the  odd-numbered  pages  up  to  page  95  have  been  used. 

Five  clippings  (approximately  one  third  of  the  book)  have  been  selected. 
The  clippings  not  selected  include  technical  articles  not  directly  related  to 
Edison,  along  with  brief  notices  about  patents  and  other  matters  that  duplicate 
the  information  in  the  Unbound  Clippings  Series  and  elsewhere.

General  (1915) 

This  scrapbook  contains  clippings  from  July-October  1915,  with  a  few 
additional  items  from  November.  They  relate  primarily  to  the  newly  established 
Naval  Consulting  Board.  Included  are  articles  discussing  Edison's  role  as  its 
leader,  the  selection  of  its  other  members  in  September  and  its  first  meeting  in 
October,  comparisons  between  the  American  board  and  its  British  counterpart, 
and  Edison's  proposal  to  establish  a  Naval  Research  Laboratory.  There  are 
also  references  to  submarine  warfare,  the  progress  of  the  war  generally,  the 
impact  of  the  war  on  the  American  economy,  the  issue  of  preparedness,  and 
Henry  Ford's  peace  plan.  Other  topics  include  Edison's  opinions  about  the 
tariff,  women's  suffrage,  Ford's  peace  plan,  and  other  issues;  his  health,  diet, 
and  work  habits;  the  activities  and  spousal  role  of  Mina  Miller  Edison;  and  the 
cross-country  automobile  trip  of  youngest  son  Theodore  Edison. 

In  addition,  there  are  articles  pertaining  to  the  invention  of  the  telescribe 
(a  device  for  recording  telephone  conversations)  and  a  battery-powered 
searchlight,  along  with  clippings  describing  "tone  tests”  during  which  recording 
artists  such  as  Alice  Verlet  and  Christine  Miller  alternated  their  live 
performance  with  an  Edison  Diamond  Disc  recording.  There  are  also  clippings 
relating  to  Edison's  plans  to  manufacture  aniline  dye  and  other  chemical 
products;  his  attendance  at  the  National  Exposition  of  Chemical  Industries  and 
a  dinner  in  his  honor  at  the  Chemists  Club;  a  strike  at  the  Edison  Chemical 
Works  at  Silver  Lake,  New  Jersey;  a  minor  accident  at  the  Works  involving  his 
eyes;  and  the  deaths  of  employees  Andrew  W.  Burns  and  Daniel  Bordner  in 
separate  accidents  at  the  Works. 

Toward  the  end  of  the  book  are  clippings  regarding  Edison's  departure 
for  the  West  Coast  to  attend  the  Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition,  his 
train  trip  across  the  country,  his  arrival  in  San  Francisco,  and  an  anonymous 
threat  on  his  life  that  prompted  the  local  police  to  assign  him  a  bodyguard.  Also 
included  are  accounts  of  his  participation  in  the  "Edison  Day"  celebration  in 
San  Francisco,  along  with  descriptions  of  similar  events  held  in  other  cities  to 
commemorate  the  thirty-sixth  anniversary  of  the  invention  of  the  incandescent 
lamp.  The  clippings  are  arranged  in  rough  chronological  order.  There  are  many 
duplicate  versions  of  each  story,  as  it  appeared  in  various  newspapers.  The 
label  on  the  spine  is  inscribed  "Mrs.  Edison's  Clippings  July  13-November  6. 
1915."  The  book  contains  approximately  350  unnumbered  pages.

jgested  that  a  civilian  commission  on  invention'  and  discovery,  composed/  of, 
’  most  eminently  equipped  men  in  the  world,  he  appointed  for  the  purpose 
advising  the  President  on  such  matters.  1 

The  suggestion  was  made,  that  men  like  Thomas  A.  Edison,  our  foremost 
’entor  and  a  past  master  of  the  art  of  telling  whether  any  given  invention  is. 
ictieable;  Orville  Wright,  co-inventor  of  the  aeroplane;  ‘Cooper  Hewitt,  in-, 
itor  of  the  Coopcr-Howitt  light;  Nikola  Tesla,  the  electrical  genius;  Prof, 
uis  J.  Johnson,  of  Harvard,  an  eminent  engineer,  and  Henry  Ford,  fa¬ 
ns  manufacturer  of  automobiles,  he  invited  to  serve  on  this  hoard. 

It  was  suggested  that  this  advisory  commission  on  invention  and  discovery 
mid  he  charged  with  the  duty  of  meeting  men  of  inventive  genius,  and  passing; 
the  practicability  of  such  inventions  as  they  might  otter  to  the  Government. 
The  Post’s  suggestion  has  borne  fruit. 

Secretary  Daniels,  of  the  Navy,  invited  Thomas  A.  Edison  to  become  the 
(1  of  an  advisory  board  of  civilian  inventors  for  a Jmmiu  of.,  invention, and

V. !  Vrepnrcdncss  took  a  leap  forward  this  week.  And  in  what  is 
•"*  undoubtedly  the  most  important  division  of  the  branch  of  the  ser¬ 
in"  vico  itself  of  most  usefulness  to  the  United  States— the  subma- 
>"lj  Vino  division  of  the  navy.  The  news  columns  of  the  papers  this 
Wj  week  carried  three  stories  of  work  on  foot  to  make  our  navy  com- 
„„  mensurate  in  Ktrcnjrth  and  rouge  with  the  nation  it  must  defend.

( I  plants,  one  in  Newport  News,  the  other  ill  Cnmdcn,  are^ preparing  j 

tension  of  dale  on  bids  for  new  vessels!  The  enlistments  of  two 
such  great  plants  should  mean  the  rapid  manufacture  of  moro

un*  commission.  ^  t  t  f  all  if  plans  Iq  not  go  wrong  is

with  Thomas  A.  Edison  as  a  civilian  adviser  at  the  head  of  a 
»«t-  if  coup  of  native  inventors  who  will  give  the  navy  the  benefit  of 
their  large  practical  knowledge.  Secretary  Daniels  lias  taken  im- 
Vftl  mediate  steps  to  utilize  the  large  body  of  nebulous  but  valuable 
suggestions  from  nllicers  of  the  navy  and  irttcrostcd  citizens.  The 
m.  i  bureau’s  first  duly  will  be  the  perfecting  of  the  submarine  beyond

from  them  sat  a  pretty  young  lady  whom  neither  of  them  knew.

T  )”r  adv0""s  of  military  preparedness  are  cm, 
••«.n5  the  need  ol  men,  Thom.,  A  of  mac|l!„ 

Our  next  war-  he  says,  mil  he  a  nuclll«*>war— a  war  of  hr 
^lheL,h.ln  lllood-  "«  *ho“M  substitute  machines  for  men  so  i

He  would,  therefore,  proceed  at  once  to  mobiliic  the  neeess 
need  'a  ^  j"  c,’or:,m“  quantity  of  powder,  he  points  out, 
needed  tn  modem  battles.  lie  would  build  and  equip  governm 
powia  factories,  but  would  not  manufacture  a  great  stock  of  pow: 
He  would  simply  hold  the  factories  in  readiness  to  turn  out  pow 
when  it  should  be  needed. 

Likewise  with  shells.  He  would  erect  factories  and  install  r 
chinery  that  would  enable  the  government  to  produce  shells  of 
sues  far  more  rapidly  than  they  are  produced  anywhere  today— a 
then  let  the  buildings  stand  ready,  with  the  machinery  greased  a 
ready  for  instant  operation,  and  raw  materials  assembled  or  arrang 


s  oi  war  material*.  .Along  the  same  line  Edison  has  suggest 
that  we  build  new  warships  and  put  them  “in  storage”  until  they  a 
needed.  The  plan  is  certainly  worthy  of  serious  consideration,  as 
means  of  achieving  preparedness  without  militarism  and  at  the  lea

An  organization  caUed  the  National  Americanization  Com- 
nmtee,  and  including  such  distinguished  men  as  Thomas  A. 
gdison.  Cardinal  Gibbons  and  Maj.  Gon.  Leonard  W55HTis

signed  distinctly  to  teach  preparedness  for  American 
citizenship. 

. .  T*lc  lli.m  of  lhis  co>nmittce  is  announced  as  an  effort  to  get 
rid  of  foreign  standards  held  by  immigrants  and  to  drive  from 
the  minds  of  nil  "hyphenated"  Americans  the  ideals  of  the  Old 
World.  It  is  a  commcndablo  plan  and  all  citizens  should  do 
everything  in  their  power  to  encourage  and  support  it. 

We  cannot  be  a  nation  single  in  purposo,  united  in  ono

We  will  play  a  list  of  twelve  of  Mr.  Edison’s 
favorite  records  all  day. 

Hear  the  Edison  Diamond  Disc  records 
which  Mr.  Edison  calls  his  favorites.  See  if 
you  -  can  tell  why  they  appeal  to  him  more 
than  any  other  of  the  exquisite  Edison  re-creations. 

See  if  you  agree  with  Mr.  Edison. 

The  laboratory  re-creation  of  the  voices  and  instruments 
of  many  famous  artists  may  be  heard  .today  if  you  will 
'come  in.  Among  them  is  Alice  Verlet,  the  Belgian  colo¬ 
ratura  soprano,  hailed  by  European  critics  as  the  new  • 
,  “Queen  of  Song.”  Hear  the  re-creation  of  her  voice  in 
Caro  Nome,  from  Rigoletto.  Hear  also  Marie  Delna, 
Carl  Felsch,  Paulo  Gruppe,  Thomas  Chalmers,  Albert 
Spalding  and  others.  All  favorites  of  Miv  Edison.  See 
"  full  program  below. 

Ask  if  you  wish  to  hear  your  own  favorite  from  the  great 
library  of  Edison  Records,  the  best  in  the  world  of  music. 
We  will  bo  glad  to  play  it  For  you.

The  whole  country  is  celebrating  Mr.  Edison’s  great  achievements  this  week.  Tomorrow, 
October  21st,  has  been  set  aside  as  Edison  Day,  in  honor  of  one  of  his  greatest  inventions. 

On  December  9, 1914,  the  Edison  factories  were  destroyed  by  one  of  the  greatest  fires  that 
ever  occurred.  In  twenty-three  days,  Mr.  Edison  was  again  making  phonographs  and  rec- 
'  ords.  Today,  only  ten  mouthy  after  the  fire,  he  actually  is  producing  100’, .  more  disc  records 
and  50','r  more  phonographs  than  before  the  fire.

THOMAS  ALVA.  EDISON  J 

Scrapbook  Series 
Scrapbook,  Cat.  44,454 
General  (1915-1916) 

This  scrapbook,  which  is  a  continuation  of  Cat.  44,452  and  Cat.  44  453 
covers  the  period  October  1 91 5-May  1916,  with  a  few  additional  clippings’from 
June.  At  the  beginning  of  the  book  are  several  pages  of  clippings  from  October 
and  November  concerning  Edison's  visit  to  California,  the  celebration  of 
"Electrical  Prosperity  Week,"  and  other  topics.  Subsequent  clippings  include 
articles  about  fires  and  labor  strikes  at  Edison's  manufacturing  works  in  West 
Orange  and  nearby  Silver  Lake;  the  implementation  of  a  new  efficiency  plan  in 
March  1916;  changes  in  senior  management  such  as  the  departure  of  Ernest 
J.  Berggren  and  Harry  T.  Leeming  and  the  appointment  of  Stephen  B 
Mambert  as  financial  executive;  the  suicide  of  William  C.  Andrews  of  the 
Edison  Storage  Battery  Co.;  and  a  successful  lawsuit  against  Thomas  A. 
Edison,  Inc.,  for  polluting  a  stream  with  chemical  effluents. 

There  are  many  items  pertaining  to  World  War !,  including  the  explosion 
aboard  the  E-2  submarine  in  the  Brooklyn  Navy  Yard  that  was  attributed  to 
gases  from  Edison  storage  batteries;  Henry  Ford's  peace  mission  to  Europe 
and  Edison's  reported  rejection  of  a  $1,000,000  offer  to  accompany  him' 
Edison's  testimony  before  the  House  Naval  Affairs  Committee  in  favor  of  a 
Naval  Research  Laboratory  and  the  rapid  production  of  submarines  and 
airplanes;  his  support  for  Marjorie  Sterrett's  Battleship  America  Fund;  his 
participation  in  a  Preparedness  Parade  in  downtown  Manhattan;  and  a  denial 
by  chief  engineer  Miller  Reese  Hutchison  that  he  gave  away  "Navy  secrets"  in 
a  publication  about  the  Edison  storage  battery. 

Also  included  are  clippings  about  a  motion  picture  produced  for  the 
National  Association  for  the  Study  and  Prevention  of  Tuberculosis  (now  the 
American  Lung  Association);  "tone  tests"  of  the  Diamond  Disc  phonograph 
conducted  in  various  cities;  Edison's  endorsement  of  the  presidential 
candidacy  of  Theodore  Roosevelt;  and  his  views  on  women's  suffrage, 
temperance,  and  other  issues.  Toward  the  end  of  the  book  is  a  5-page  article 
about  Edison's  motion  picture  business  by  Alan  Crosland,  an  employee  who  a 
decade  later  would  direct  Al  Jolson  in  The  Jazz  Singer. 


In  addition,  there  are  articles  regarding  the  celebration  of  Edison's  sixty- 
ninth  birthday;  the  birth  of  his  first  grandchild,  Thomas  Edison  Sloane;  the 
marriage  of  his  sister-in-law  Grace  Miller  to  Halbert  K.  Hitchcock;  and  the 
family's  spring  vacation  in  Florida.  Among  the  many  clippings  pertaining  to  the 
opinions  and  social  activities  of  Mina  Miller  Edison  are  reports  of  her 
opposition  to  low-cut  dresses  and  other  immodest  women's  fashions;  her 
participation  in  the  dedication  of  the  statue  of  Joan  of  Arc  in  Central  Park;  her 
attendance  at  the  annual  convention  of  the  General  Federation  of  Women's 
Clubs;  and  an  encounter  with  the  West  Orange  police  involving  an  expired 
automobile  tag.  There  are  multiple  versions  from  numerous  newspapers  of 
most  of  these  stories.  The  front  cover  is  inscribed  "Clippings  re  Thos.  A. 
Edison";  similar  markings  appear  on  the  spine.  The  pages  are  unnumbered; 
approximately  250  pages  have  been  used.

Scrapbook  Series 
Scrapbook,  Cat.  44,455 
General  (1915-1916) 

This  scrapbook,  which  is  a  continuation  of  Cat.  44,454,  contains 
clippings  primarily  from  the  period  May-December  1 91 6.  Included  are  articles 
about  an  explosion  at  the  Edison  Chemical  Works  in  Silver  Lake,  New  Jersey; 
efforts  by  the  local  communities  of  Bloomfield  and  Belleville  to  reduce  smoke 
emissions  from  Edison's  chemical  plants;  labor  unrest  in  the  Disc 
Manufacturing  Dept.;  management's  dealings  with  the  Edison  Protective 
Association,  a  workers'  sick  and  death  benefit  organization;  the  formation  of 
the  Wisconsin  Cabinet  &  Panel  Co.  to  manufacture  phonograph  cabinets;  and 
the  deaths  of  longtime  Edison  associates  Jonas  W.  Aylsworth  and  Emil 
Herter. 

In  addition,  there  are  references  to  Edison's  relationship  with  U.S. 
Secretary  of  the  Navy  Josephus  Daniels,  including  a  dinner  together  at 
Glenmont  during  which  they  discussed  the  proposed  naval  research 
laboratory.  Numerous  clippings  pertain  to  the  presidential  election  of  1916, 
including  Edison’s  announcement  of  his  support  for  Theodore  Roosevelt,  his 
shift  to  President  Woodrow  Wilson  after  Roosevelt  dropped  out  of  the  race, 
and  the  endorsement  of  Wilson  by  Edison's  friends  Luther  Burbank,  John 
Burroughs,  and  Henry  Ford.  Other  items  relate  to  Edison's  camping  trip  in  the 
Adirondacks  with  Burroughs,  Ford,  and  Harvey  Firestone;  his  receipt  of  an 
honorary  doctor  of  laws  degree  from  the  State  University  of  New  York  in  a 
ceremony  conducted  over  the  telephone;  his  views  about  women’s  suffrage 
and  other  issues;  and  his  attendance  at  events  such  as  the  Preparedness 
Parade  in  New  York  City,  the  Newark  Industrial  Exhibition,  the  National 
Exposition  of  Chemical  Industries,  and  the  New  York  Electrical  Show. 

Also  included  are  articles  pertaining  to  "Edison  Day”  and  "Edison  Week" 
celebrations  through  the  country;  "tone  tests"  of  the  Diamond  Disc 
phonograph  conducted  in  various  cities;  and  the  "Edison  Star,”  a  bright  light 
in  the  sky  above  Menlo  Park,  that  was  erroneously  attributed  to  Edison.  In 
addition,  there  are  numerous  clippings  regarding  the  opinions  and  social 
activities  of  Mina  Miller  Edison,  particularly  her  participation  in  the  annual 
convention  of  the  General  Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  during  which  "peace" 
and  "preparedness"  candidates  vied  for  the  presidency.  There  are  multiple 
versions  from  numerous  newspapers  of  most  of  the  stories,  although  later  in 
the  book  these  duplicates  are  merely  listed.  The  front  cover  is  inscribed 
"Clippings  re  Thos.  A.  Edison."  The  pages  are  unnumbered;  approximately 
1 50  pages  have  been  used.

I  JuGotfege  Education 

On  a  Short  Shelf 

THE  jrrent  mass  of  Amo/^ns  hiivo  at  best  but  a  superficial  edu¬ 
cation,  acquired  in  tin/  ^lic  schools.  Until  recent  years  the 
fault  of  the  public  scho  ystem  was  that  it  tried  to  teach  so 
I  much  within  the  short  studyh..  life  of  the  average  pupil,  that  the 
I  knowledge  supposed  to  be  gained  was  not  gained,  except  in  a  smat¬ 
tering  way,  and  with  nothing  approaching  accuracy.  In  this  re¬ 
spect  there  has  been  marked  improvement  in  the  methods  and 
courses  of  the  large  city  schools,  while,  in  country  districts,  the  re¬ 
form  is  less  observable. 

Even  a  collegiate  education  practically  does  little  more  than 
to  train  the  mind  of  the  student  so  that  he  may  know  how  to  learn 
for  himself.  In  fact,  “education."  partial  or  liberal,  is  only  the  be¬ 
ginning  of  wisdom.  The  late  King  Edward  VII.  was  not  bright  at 
liis  books,  when  a  boy,  and  he  could  not  be  called  a  highly  educated 
man  in  the  ordinary  sense  of  the  term.  Yet  he  was  classed  as  among 
the  best  informed  men  of  his  time.  The  reason  for  this  is  simple. 


of  much  of  his  wide  information,  was  a  high-class  ency CIO- 
1,  always  within  reach  of  his  desk. 

thcr  prominent  characters  in  the  life  of  the  generation,  with- 
ithe  of  the  educational  advantages  open  to  the  scions  of  noble 
i  families,  might  be  cited  to  show  that  the  pursuit  of  knowl- 
s  not  necessarily  hampered  by  lack  of  early  schooling,  if  one 
i*  spirit  and  the  habit.  Men  like  the  late  .lames  .1.  llill.  Thomas 
son,  Charles  Schwab  and  Andrew  Carnegie,  had  to  husuFTffr 


chanical.  literary,  historical  or  other  value  and  interest.  In 
best  publication  of  the  kind,  he  will  have  at  his  service  the  auth 
.  ity,  learning  and  experience  of  fifteen  hundred  of  the  greatest  w 
era  on  various  specialties.  He.  need  not  go  to  a  public  library  n 
hunt  through  the  classics  to  inform  himself  regarding  Greek  i 
religion,  architecture,  or  the  identity  and  fabled  attributes  of  gi 
and  goddesses,  lie  need  only  turn  to  the  article  on  Greece,  n 


general  learning  lie  will  require  in  evervdnv  life. 

It  is  to  lie  regretted  that,  until  very  recently,  the  cost  attending 
iliiXB'Ti  “m  Pu,»Iicntion  of  such  u  work  has  made  the  price

Trial  and  Error. 


rpHOMAS^ALVA  EDISON  works  ^by  the  method  of  trial  and  error.  When, 
rangement.  fails;  tries  another,  fails;  tries  a  third,  fails;  tries,  maybe  a  thousand, 


several  thousand,  and  finnlly  succeeds.  This  was  the  way  with  the  elec¬ 
tric  light,  with  the  phonograph,  and  with  the  electric  storage  battery.  Now,  the 
curious  aspect  ol  this  method  of  Edison's  is  that  it  is  also  nature's  method  in  im¬ 
proving  a  species  or  a  form  of  government.  When  Edison  makes  a  false  com¬ 
bination  he  knows  at  once,  because  it  falls  to  give  him  the  results  he  wants. 
When  nature  makes  a  mistake  the  mistake  dies,  whether  it  be  an  individual  insect, 
a  species,  or  a  form  of  human  society. 

Only  successful  creatures  and  societies  survive  and  perpetuate  their  kind.  If 
a  government  rests  on  a  false  basis  it  may  last  a  long  time,  but  in  the  end  it  will 
be  destroyed.  As  far  back  at  we  can  look  kingdoms  and  empires  have  always 
to  seed  and  been  extinguished.  Warlike  nations  of  all  grades  have  also,  after
